It is good to see another persons speech broken down in their own words. I have reviewed many speeches that were broken down by someone other than the writer. I often wonder if their comments are accurate. If the alliteration was coincidental, subconsciously brilliant, or on purpose. Having someone like you deconstruct their speech is wonderful.

One thing more fundamental than the rhetorical devices that I see in your speech is where you transition “your story” into the “audiences story”. An essential element. It is not about you. It is about the audience!

Nice work. Good luck at your next contest.

I hope you don’t mind that I use a few of these points with my clients!
